Gateway P-6831FX in stock at BestBuy for $1350
Core 2 Duo
3GB RAM
250GB HDD
DVDRW slot load FTW
17" widescreen
NVIDIA GeForce Go 8800 GTS 512MB
Looks like the only major weakness is the CPU is a lower end C2D. According to Gateway this notebook can take two SATA HDDs, but no mention of RAID. Sure there are notebooks that have 8800 GPUs in SLI, but none of them are anywhere near this cheap.
This might be a special edition for BestBuy because the cheapest configuration that Gateway lists is $1600, but with a faster CPU. Heck, can buy an even faster CPU for that difference at Newegg, and have a spare to sell on Ebay.
